Mario & Yoshi is a fast-paced NES puzzle game in which you must mix and match falling characters and piece together eggshells to free the Yoshi trapped inside.
Simply move Mario back and forth to catch the falling Goombas, Boos, Bloopers and Piranha Plants. Capture creatures between two eggshell halves and you’ll release a Yoshi; the more creatures you capture, the larger the Yoshi and the bigger the bonus!
Mario & Yoshi also features a split-screen, simultaneous two-player mode that brings Luigi into play.

Hmm... I may get this. I can remember playing a friend's copy of the Game Boy version and enjoying it, but it doesn't seem the most exciting concept these days... I guess I'll have to rely on your review guys!

I had this game. It was okay for a while but nothing great. I guess I thought I owed it to myself to play it because of the Mario licensed attached. Thankfully I grown out of that.

I loved it on NES and Game Boy, but I don't know if I want to blow $5 on this for another play through. I probably won't because I don't play puzzle games that much anymore, but if you've never played this before check it out. Its a fun puzzler.

this was a decent effort of a game, something different from your ordinary looking puzzler.

it's a simple puzzler that is fun (and more fun with 2 players).
it's not a game to play through as there really is no end.
i know i would play a game of it when i'm bored not just once in a while.
and anyone can pick it up and play it with you 2-players, so i think it's a good choice to have it on vc. i always liked the game. there was a time when i was addicted to it. and i'm gonna get it with my next wii points.
soon you will be hooked and spent hours on it.
4/5 stars

It was fun back in the day. i bought the cartridge used for $4 only a year after it came out...
Honestly, if you're into puzzle games, pick up Columns, Dr. Mario, the puyo puyo clones (Dr. Robotnik's mean bean machine or Kirby's Avalanche) or wait for Yoshi's cookie. This one is only alright (but it does have an interesting twist the whole puzzle game thing and that can take a little time getting used to it at first).

This is a game I've never previously played before the VC.
This is one of the most unusually addictive games for NES.
I keep finding myself turning on the Wii just to play this game again. Trying to go for a higher score is always enjoyable. It's a good way to kill some free time. Graphics and sound wasn't mind blowing even for a NES game but still good.

It's just as good as Dr. Mario, or even Tetris in my opinion. My sister alone would spend hours, and hours playing this game. A great, yet sadlly long forgotten gem. Worth a look.

I hate this game! The graphics are weak, the music is lame, the right piece can take forever to come, it has no save feature, and the game play is overly repetitive.

Frankly, this is a load of old cobblers.

This was an interesting game but it didn't grab my attention as much as Dr Mario did. Personally, it hasn't aged very well in my opinion

I tried the game boy version of this game out at a trading store, and I must say it is just not good. the graphics and music are weak. It's extremely boring and repetitive, and I came to this conclusion after playing it for only 2 minutes! There's better puzzlers for VC out there.

looks enjoying for only a bit, but then gets boring...

It's fun for about 15 minutes and then it begins to lose its luster very quickly.

this must have been released at the very end of the NES period.
